Ryles, a musical fixture in Cambridge's Inman Square for decades and one of the area's most popular Sunday jazz brunch destinations

The Regent Theatre, known as Arlington's "Showplace of Entertainment," for all jazz and jazz-related events

The Amazing Things Arts Center, Framingham's magnet for a wide range of music, theater, and children's and family events, for jazz and jazz-related shows (JazzBoston members receive the same discount as Amazing's own, approximately 15%)
